Presented in conjunction with Davidson's new Center for Civic Engagement, Alumni College 2012 will be another great opportunity for learning and fellowship! Alumni, parents and friends of the college are invited to enjoy four days on campus with Davidson's talented faculty, exploring the roles media and technology have played over the centuries in moving citizens to take social action and responsibility. This educational program will take place during Davidson's spring break, and there will be opportunities to explore Davidson and the surrounding community on your own and in organized group activities.
